Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 4 cups apples, peeled and sliced (about 4 medium apples)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
- In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly over the crust.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the apples, then sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture on top.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Allow to cool in the dish for at least 15 minutes before cutting into bars.
